10 Times Superman Was The WORST Superhero (And A Massive A-Hole)

6. Shooting A Porno

So much for Superman being a boy scout, eh? Due to the era in which he was created, many of the character's early interactions with women make for uncomfortable reading, but he really tarnished his image here. When a member of the New Gods kidnapped Big Barda, he used his psychic powers to get her to start in a series of porn movies which he then sold off to Metropolis' residents, and it didn't take long for him to realise that the big bucks would come from having her, ahem, "team-up" with Superman.

While the hero's "strong moral fibre" helped him resist the villain's manipulation, he still came very close to getting it on on camera. In fact, he would have no doubt gone all the way had Barda's husband Mister Miracle not showed up in time, and the Man of Steel's apology for almost banging the guy's wife wasn't exactly all that sincere (it was basically, "I'm Superman bro, so just trust me when I say I knew what I was doing.").

Regardless, if Superman can't even resist the powers of an alien pervert, what kind of superhero is he supposed to be exactly?
